Smarty or ....?

With the mods in my sig, and future vb and tc upgrades, would I be better to get the hot download and an mp-8, or get a smarty and use the attitude moniter with it? Which way would be best for power, mileage, and cost?

Typically you will gear that smarty and edge dont work together. Get your the MP8 and go with it

I know that the smarty and juice won't work together, but I'm pretty sure that you can use the smarty for power and the attitude for gauges only.

i have both the hot juice and the smarty i ran them together only for a few days then took the hot juice out i have the smarty in on the 90hp setting w/aftermarket turbo and injector downloads seems to have the same power gain as the hot juice alone but i also dont have any trans mods to really wanna put a lotta power threw it but i like the smarty alot the only thing is you cant play with it on the fly and it takes like 5 10 min to download to your truck i dont know if that is going to help with you question but thats my input.

That is one thing that I don't know if I want to do without! But there are a lot of Smarty guys out there and I just wanted to hear from them to see what might or might not make it better.

Smarty Jr and juice both do timing and duration. Therefore stacking them together has no benefit. The odd or even settings on Smarty Sr, not sure which, does pressure, therefore it will stack with J/A. Someone chime in if I'm mistaken'.

Smarty doesn't do pressure unless you have the beta program. On even numbers it doesn't do timing.
